IX. Information Items
IX.A. School Choice Proposal
Rationale

The District student assignment plan needs a comprehensive, coordinated reimagining and restructuring to improve equity, access, and choice for all students, to make it easier for families to understand, to create mechanisms to address school diversity, and to ensure adequate funding aligned with student need. The JCPS student assignment plan has not undergone a comprehensive review with significant changes for almost forty years. The changes made during those years were largely ad hoc in nature and disconnected from the overall purpose of the plan, creating a fragmented system, that is unduly complex, and that exacerbates racial inequities for Black and Brown students.

A cross-divisional leadership team, with invaluable input from the Student Assignment Review Advisory Committee (SARAC), and with significant technical support from nationally recognized experts, has been working over three years to develop recommendations for a new Plan. Through that process, they conducted a thorough review of the current District student assignment plan and developed recommendations for significant, comprehensive, and coordinated changes for Board consideration. This effort has included an analysis of the implications of the student assignment plan for racial equity in the District and has relied upon input from stakeholders, community members, students, critical friends, and families, throughout the process.

The proposed student assignment plan was developed based on five Guiding Principles: Equity, Access, Ease of Understanding, Diversity, and Choice.

Broadly, there are three main components to the proposal which will include an annual external review:

  • Dual Resides and Feeder Patterns - How students are assigned to schools based on their home address.
  • Choice Zone Support Plan - How the District will provide support to high-need schools in the geographic area designated as the Choice Zone to ensure all students get the support they need to succeed and thrive. The funding for this proposal is $12 million and is proposed to remain at least at that level for a minimum of ten years.
  • Magnet Schools and Programs – How the District will expand choices aligned to student interest and create exciting, engaging learning communities to serve a diverse set of students.

The proposal includes the following proposed components required for clear understanding, implementation, and accountability, which are provided for the Board for review and consideration:

  • Board Policies 09.11 School Choice System and 08.134 Magnet Education and related Administrative Procedures;
  • The final School Choice Plan Proposal document;
  • Elementary, middle, and high school boundary maps;
  • Hawthorne Elementary, Coleridge-Taylor Elementary, Foster Academy, Western Middle, Shawnee Middle, and Western High School becoming full magnet schools;
  • Elementary, Middle, and High Traditional schools' boundary maps;
  • Changing Shelby Traditional Academy's name to Shelby Academy while leaving the traditional magnet program intact until all current students have completed fifth grade;
  • Changing Kennedy Montessori Elementary School's name to John F. Kennedy Elementary School while leaving the Montessori magnet program intact until all current students have completed fifth grade;
  • Job description and revised organizational chart for Assistant Director of the Choice Zone and the personnel to support the magnet office; and
  • Salary schedule for the Choice Zone (currently being negotiated)

District staff from the Office of School Choice and the Office of the Chief of Staff, with review by the General Counsel, drafted Board policies and administrative procedures aligned with the School Choice Plan proposal to guide implementation and establish accountability mechanisms. The Board Policy Committee met on May 3, 2022, and May 12, 2022, to review and consider following draft Board policies and administrative procedures:

  • Board Policy 9.11 School Choice System
  • Related School Choice System Administrative Procedures:
    • 09.11 AP.1 Student Transfers
    • 09.11 AP.2 Assignment of Students - Non-Magnet Schools
    • 09.11 AP.3 Assignment of Students - Magnet Schools, Programs, and Optional Programs
    • 09.11 AP.4 Diversity Categories and Index
  • Board Police 08.134 Magnet Education
  • Related Magnet Education Administrative Procedures:
    • 08.134 AP.1 Quality Magnet Programming
    • 08.134 AP.2 New Magnet School or Program Design Process
    • 08.134 AP.3 Assignment Processes for Magnet Schools, Programs, and Optional Programs

IX.B. Acceptance of 2022-23 Student Progression and Promotion Handbooks and the Assessing Learning and Grading Frameworks for First Reading
Rationale

The District establishes uniform standard procedures for assessing learning, grading, progression, and promotion of students in the elementary, middle, and high school levels. These procedures are reviewed and approved annually by the Board.

A broad-based committee, with subcommittees for each level (elementary, middle, and high school) reviewed and revised the documents for 2022-23. For each level, there are two documents:

  • The Assessing Learning and Grading Framework.
  • The Student Progression and Promotion Handbook (for high schools, this includes graduation requirements)

While the Student Progression and Promotion Handbook for each level provides policies and procedures for how learners progress through each level and are promoted, the Framework focuses on the guiding purposes, principles, and recommended practices for assessing learning and grading.

The Assessing Learning and Grading Framework represents a continuation of the process begun last year to build a bridge from prior grading practices to our Future State of learning and assessment. The Framework places a stronger emphasis on assessing student progress and mastery, and less on student engagement and effort.

The Office of Curriculum and Instruction utilized the District’s Racial Equity Analysis Protocol. This work supports Vision 2020 strategy 1.1.3- Provide Equitable Access.

X.U. Recommendation for Approval of Agreements
X.U.1. Recommendation for Approval of Addendum to Memorandum of Understanding with Digital Promise for the Verizon Innovative Learning Initiative for Cohort 7 Schools
Rationale

The purpose of this addendum to the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the Verizon Innovative Learning Schools is to extend the current agreement for cohort 7 through June 2024.

The original MOU with Digital Promise accepted six middle schools into the Verizon Innovative Learning Initiative (VILS) Cohort 7 for the 2020-21 and 2021-22 school years:

Carrithers Middle

Conway Middle

Farnsley Middle

Girls of Color STEAM Academy

Robert Frost Sixth-Grade Academy

Stuart Academy

The initiative provides each participating school with the following:

  • A tablet device for each student and each teacher during the two-year project period. Each tablet will be equipped with a 10 GB LTE monthly data plan for access to educational resources on the internet when the user is away from school.
  • $35,000 per school per year to help support a full-time (VILS) instructional coach at each school.
  • Professional learning for all teachers involved in the project provided both in person and virtually.
  • Professional learning for instructional coaches and support in identifying, implementing, and tracking the professional learning of educators at each school.
  • Ongoing project planning and implementation support.

Participating schools met eligibility guidelines (free-or-reduced lunch rate of at least 65 percent) and agreed to the following commitments:

  • Providing remaining salary and benefit costs for the full-time instructional coach through existing funding.

X.U.3. Recommendation for Approval of Memorandum of Agreement with Moorman Mental Health Services, LLC
Rationale

The rationale for community based counseling services to provide behavioral and mental health supports in school is for continuity of services between home and school. Community partners are able to provide the wrap-around support for our families and consult with school staff to solve student's school related concerns. The following contractor is recommended for approval from the Board of Education:

        • Moorman Mental Health Services, LLC

The goal of these services is to help students develop critical thinking skills, self-regulation, and empathy. Services to be included are individual and group counseling.

Schools will be provided a list of providers that accept both Medicaid and private insurance that have obtained MOAs prior to the first day of school. The principal will determine which services to bring into their school based upon the needs of the students they serve.

The MOA process was developed to ensure community providers given access to students on school property had proper licensure, insurance, and background checks as mandated by KRS 160.380 and that the community provider fills a need for schools.

No costs will be incurred by JCPS, JCPS students, parents or legal guardians for services rendered. The agency will only bill for the cost of services to the private or public health insurance company after parent or legal guardian gives written permission to do so.

The Memorandum of Agreements shall be effective beginning May 25, 2022 and ending on December 31, 2022.

X.U.5. Recommendation for Approval of Memorandum of Agreement with the University of Kentucky
Rationale

As JCPS takes action to meet the professional learning demands and shifts in JCPS instructional and assessment systems aligned with achieving our desired future state and beyond, educators across the district are moving toward more learner centered experiences that are engaging, equitable, and result in a deep learning of standards, success skills, and competencies. This shift requires expertise in Competency Based Education (CBE) theory, as well as practice at the school and district level. Investing in JCPS educators to acquire this specialized expertise and practical experience will empower our district to enact practices and policies at the school and district level conducive to building a competency based education environment.

In alignment with the Climate and Culture Pillar, CBE empowers learners to take part in the learning process and exhibit agency in demonstrating learning. This ownership of learning is empowering for learners; students and teachers alike and contributes to a learner centered, collaborative, and flexible learning environment.

In alignment with the Backpack of Success Skills Pillar, CBE enables learners to have a role in and drive the learning process. This will empower learners in a CBE environment to have more ownership in demonstrations of learning. Furthermore, this initiative supports the backpack, as it will empower teachers to design instructional pathways and experience around our own success skills, which themselves are competenciesCBE offers a learning context that emphasizes both standards as they relate to success skills. Collaboration, innovative creation, and communication competencies encompass more discreet skills and standards. Educators will be able to group learning outcomes, standards, and skills, within our competencies and design deeper learning experiences empowering learners to access, engage with, receive feedback on, and demonstrate learning of, success skills.

Additionally, approval of this agreement will build the capacity of JCPS educators. Through the rigorous certification process, educators engage in action research; designing professional learning for colleagues, designing competency progressions, and implementing elements of CBE. Certified teachers then lead high leverage professional learning across the district as well as serve on district committees to inform shifts towards CBE, in partnership with the Teaching and Learning department. Graduates from cohort 1 are already investing back in JCPS by using their certifications to train others and serve on decision making committees.
